13. Soup or Salvation

Episode 11: Soup or Salvation

Howdy ho, everyone! It has been too long, it feels. But that's life for you.

1602jaw: Of course. Terry's OK. Are You Okay? BUSTER WOLF! But yeah, it's nice when you can use writing to express what you love.

ThelastCyberKnight: The Wolf is back, bois! Terry and Kiryu make pretty good bros. I didn't really have anything planned for 18 going forward. She's tough to write, but she played her part.

Guest: Oh trust me, I have a trip to Italy planned for the future. To Passione. (Cue Giorno theme)

Guest: Basically, the higher the bounty, the more clout. And yes, I'm sure Coyle got your message.

NondescriptNorbert: After what happened in Totto Land, it's nice to kick back and have nonsensical episodes where there's low stakes. It did the job well, and aided with the plot.

SteelRobot: Walubelle, huh? I like that. Let it be the official ship name for them. Add it to Charkuri, Edri, Terqua, and Suda. And what did I mean when I said shit would go down? ;)

TheHiddenAuthor5000: Guess you're not a fan of modern SMG4.

TheMasterKat: I mean, your joke got a nice laugh out of me. And it helps that they'd listen to Starscream since he hasn't really gotten on his teammates' bad sides, so….

Logbook27062000: You had good ideas. And SMG4 is a good series, and I congratulate them for 10 years, and thank them for being partially responsible for my sense of humor.

EndeavorT: To answer your question, in the eyes of the Word Government, they defied a Yonko. They invaded their territory and escaped, whether they meant to or not. Since Terry actually fought Big Mom, he'd get the higher bounty. We're basically gonna go through this as if it were the first Bioshock. Except these guys are the protagonist this time.

thenewsubwayguy: Terry's back and kicking, and Miu wants to socialize more with her team (this won't change her lewd and perverted aspects, but at least more empathic). And Coyle was pretty much a dick for the hell of it. She sees an opportunity, she'll take it.

That guy: Obviously, I love the spiciest of memes, and I think I traumatized everyone.

Happiness studios: Sorry if it wasn't to your expectations. Let me clear a couple things up. Terry's suffered depression in the past. The guy keeps losing those he cares about. All he really has now is his brother. As for Isabelle X Waluigi, Isabelle said that ever since their assist trophy days, she always had a crush on him. She liked how outlandish and how much of an oddball he is. This show just brought her feelings closer than she'd ever thought.

Monkeybot54: Thanks. Im sorry if it got a little dark. I'll warn you this one is a little dark as well, but for different reasons.

Now, let's take a dive into a world of exploration, superpowers, and….Soup?!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Last time on Total Drama Infinite 2, our gang got weird in the cringy and meme saturated YouTube channel of SMG4. From Uzi wielding Garos, to a tale of two Taris, and whatever the heck a waifu is, they experienced it all. With Terry feeling down and out, Kiryu stepped up to help his friend in his time of need. Coyle decided to make herself as hated as DIO and read Isabelle's journal in front of everyone, revealing her secret feelings for Waluigi. I mean, really? What does she see in him? After an awkward and uncomfortable revelation like that, the Dark Fun Gang won yet again, and got the choice of who got the boot. In the end, it was 18 who was unfortunately chosen, due to her threat level. After all that, how can we push these guys even further? Find out soon, on Total Drama Infinite 2!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"ONE! TWO! ONE! TWO! ONE! TWO!"

We open up with Terry hard at training in the back of the plane, with Kiryu and Glass Joe still helping him. The both of them were holding up gloves with targets on them. Terry was busy punching and kicking them at high speeds, leaving his cohorts a bit amazed at how much effort he was putting out.

"Guess someone's really in a good mood today." Joe said.

"Yep." Terry replied. "Ever since Totto Land, it got me thinking. I could really stand to get stronger. And I got some time to make up for how useless I was feeling there for a while. Gotta get stronger, so that I can make sure I don't get beaten like that again."

"That's understandable." Kiryu said. They knew Big Mom completely curbstomped Terry back on Whole Cake Island, and his defeat was one of the two reasons why he went off the deep end. Now, he was back, and with a vengeance.

Terry finally stops hitting the targets, and pulls out a water bottle. He quickly chugs it down, and incinerated the bottle with blue and green flames once he's finished.

"That Cinder chick ain't the only one who can burn." Terry says, giving a chuckle at his little joke. "Well, I think it's high time I get back to my team. Things have been a little awkward lately."

Of course, they immediately knew he meant all of the crap surrounding Waluigi and Isabelle.

"I know that." Joe said. "Isabelle isn't really talking much, and I can tell she's embarrassed and humiliated with what Coyle did."

"Speaking of which, how's Waluigi handling the news?" Kiryu asked.

"Weirdly." Terry answered. "He quickly tries to change the subject if it's brought up. Every chance he gets, he acts as though it never happened. But I can tell he doesn't know how to handle it. Guess he's never had a girl into him. Such a shame. And the two appeared to be good friends."

"If you ask me, the two of them need to confront each other and talk it out." Kiryu suggested. "Though that's probably easier said than done, considering the two now won't even interact with each other."

"Maybe the guy just needs some time to figure out his own feelings on the matter." Joe said. "Though it's not my place to decide what he should do. Love is like a hurricane, I presume."

"Whatever happens, it's not our job to solve the problem. Only time will tell."

With a peace sign, Terry then leaves the room, and walks down the hallway while whistling a tune. That is, until, he bumps into someone.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU FILTHY ORGANIC!"

Terry looked up to realize he bumped into Starscream without looking. Shrugging, he just walked right past him like nothing happened. And it bugged the Deception.

"HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU, YOU BUM!"

"Hmm?"

Terry turns around and gives Starscream the attention he craved.

"Funny to see you moving around again after losing that pathetic goddess of yours!" Starscream mocked. With a powerhouse like 18 gone, Starscream set his sights on more of the strong competitors, and Terry was the poor sap who dared enter his presence. His plan was to antagonize and intimidate the guy.

"Sorry about that, pal. Got places to be, y'know? Unless….."

He held up his hand, glowing with blue and green fire. And a mischievous grin.

"...You got a problem? Because I could always use another training bag-I mean, sparring partner."

He then continues to casually walk on, as Starscream stood baffled.

"Hmm. Interesting." He mused. "This kitty has surely got his claws back."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"On the Wolves, he's surely their physically strongest player." Starscream said. "I'm shocked he wasn't intimidated by me. It'll be all the more satisfying to crush that whelp."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Does he really think I'm scared?" Terry scoffed. "Now Big Mom? That was truly scary. I could more than likely take the big guy, but I gotta be stronger. And I promise you I won't suffer a loss like that again."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Terry rejoins his team, who were sitting in the cafeteria. Each of them were busy doing their own thing. Deadpool and Reg were busy playing a card game, Toko was busy writing, Susie was eating, Miu was passed out over the table from one of her all nighters of inventing, and Edgeworth was looking out the window while relaxing with a cup of tea.

And as for Waluigi? He was sitting there, flipping through a magazine, trying to, for once, look inconspicuous. Terry just sits down right next to Waluigi.

"Have fun with your little friends?" Susie asked.

"They're fine, thank you." Terry said. "Just because they're on the enemy team does not mean I need to be hostile towards them."

"I get it." Susie sighed. "Just… miss those guys, y'know?"

"I know you really seem to miss Iida." Toko whispered to Susie.

"Shut up!" Susie hissed. "What do you know?! You don't know jack squat!"

"I'm a writer of romance novels." Toko saidm. "I can see these kinds of things. And I see how you look at him at times."

"Nosy little-" Susie began, but tried to calm herself down. "You know what? I'm not going to take you seriously. A two in one package of weird and psychotic. I miss my old team, okay?! Not that I have anything against you guys. So just drop it, alright?!"

"Okay, geez!" Toko said defensively. "I was only trying to help!"

"Goddammit, shut the fuck up!" Miu yelled. "I'm trying to sleep right here, you fuckin' slugs!"

"Miu, we talked about this!" Reg cried. "Remember?!"

But the ultimate inventor was already back to sleep, snoring very loudly.

Edgeworth sighed. "She really needs to stop with those all nighters."

"Ironically, she's working on stuff that can help you be productive while you're sleeping." Deadpool said. "Even asked me to help her out as a test subject."

"Rather be a test subject for Miu than that creepy as hell Coyle." Terry said. Speaking of her…."

The Wolves see Coyle floating right past them. They all glare at the rad scientist, and she takes notice.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

"Keep on floating, you steampunk salad." Susie said as she drew her axe.

"Why do you bare your fangs at me, you brute?" Coyle asked. "I didn't do anything to you. It was all happenstance that things played out the way they did. Speaking of which, how are things for you, Waluigi?"

Waluigi quickly tried to hide his face with the magazine, refusing to look at her.

"You know it's rude to not reply when people are talking to you, darling." Coyle mocked.

Miu woke up again, and saw the smug and ugly mug of Coyle.

"Get the fuck outta here, bitch!" Miu snapped. "Can't you see Walu-idiot doesn't want to deal with your shit?! Scram!"

"Coyle's eye slightly twitched at being name called again. "Vulgar little tramp…." The scientist then stomped away instead of floating for once.

"Nice job telling her off, Miu" Terry said. "You really know how to get under her skin."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Mwahahahaha! Did you hear that?!" Miu exclaimed happily. "A pretty damn good compliment from one of my teammates! That's some fuckin' progress if I do say so, myself! That Coyle really pisses me off more than that cocksucker Kokichi!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'd hate to bring it up, but are you sure you have nothing you want to talk about, Waluigi?" Reg asked the purple cheater.

"Waluigi's sure." Waluigi replied coldly. "He just wants to put this behind him."

"That's kind of going to be a little difficult." Edgeworth explained. "You're going to be seeing Isabelle quite a lot during challenges. You cannot avoid her forever. I'm no expert, but I suggest you should talk to her about this."

"Why should I?!" Waluigi huffed. "Waluigi can't look at her the same way after all of that! He doesn't know what he should do!"

"Sounds like a job for me!" Deadpool said. "You know, I gave Ed great romance advice last season. And now look at him. He's got Tari, and the both of them are happy together. Looks like the love doctor's back!"

"Are you sure you're not just confused about your feelings?" Toko suggested. "Kind of reminds of one of the characters in one of my stories."

Waluigi clutches his head in frustration. "ARRRGH! Waluigi doesn't know! It's all so confusing! He's used to women rejecting him! This is something entirely new to him!"

"I'm sure you'll figure it out, dude." Terry said. "But I don't think you'll be able to do it on your own. Everyone is giving you helpful advice, you know."

Waluigi slumps down and sighs. Did he have a point? Should he listen to their advice? Should he confide in Isabelle about this? He didn't even know himself, how he felt about her. Man, it was all so confusing.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We now see Coyle stomping back to her team, infuriated over Miu's insults. She did not take kindly to name calling (Except when she was doing it).

During her walk, she finally ran into her trusted ally.

"Finally, someone I don't detest." Coyle said.

"Seems you had a morning." Cinder replied coldly. "But you've got bigger problems that you should be worried about."

"Which is?"

"After your little stunt last challenge, you've put a target on your back. Especially with a few of our teammates. Specifically Edward, Meggy, and Tari."

Coyle had to think about her predicament. If less than half of her team was mad at her, she'd need more allies to help her and Cinder when it came down to votes. Rick practically does his own thing and won't listen to anyone, so that just left Harley.

"It's simple." Coyle said. "If I can somehow convince Harley to start voting with us, we stand more of a chance. Worst case scenario, a tie breaks out, which I'm sure I'd win easily. If one of those three is gone, then we'd theoretically outnumber them.

Cinder snorted. "Good luck convincing Harley. That girl is very stubborn and adamant, like Susie."

Coyle just gave a sly grin. "I just need to find the right circumstances before I make my proposal."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I refuse to lose." Coyle said. "I'll use my intelligence to win, and I don't care who I have to use and abuse to get what I want. The smartest always wins."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'm really worried for you." Sora said to Isabelle. "You haven't left first class for days."

Isabelle sat in her seat, glumly picking at her breakfast.

"True." Iida added. "You can't hide in here forever."

"I don't plan on leaving if that means I'll see him again." Isabelle said. "After all of that, I can't show my face to him. He probably got scared and thinks I'm a total weirdo. I probably just ruined our friendship, too."

"You don't know that." Kiryu told her. "You need to talk it out with him. Next challenge we have, you should take that opportunity."

"Yeah. What could possibly go wrong?" Isabelle said sarcastically. "Ohhhh, I'm such a loser!"

"No you're not." Joe said. "Nobody can be a bigger loser than me. So don't beat yourself up about it."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What he just said was depressing." Starscream said. "And hilarious."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So it's settled?" Meggy said to Ed and Tari. "We vote out Coyle next?"

"Right." Edward affirmed. "Katakuri told me in confidence to keep an eye out for her."

"Will the three of us even be enough?" Tari asked. "You have to think about Cinder, Harley, and Rick's votes."

"I don't think we should be too worried." Meggy said confidently. "Their votes would probably be all over the place, or aligned with ours."

"Finally." Edward said triumphantly. "Now we can get rid of her. After the stunt she pulled, that's outright crossing the line.?"

At that moment, the jet was shaking around a little bit. Everyone held on for dear life, but something felt different this time.

The scene cut to Chris and Chef laughing raucously in the cockpit, then outside as the jumbo jet finally slid to a stop on top of the water. "Attention all Total Drama passengers!" Chris announced over the plane's intercom. "In accordance with emergency landing procedures," the shot cut closer to the door on the tail of the jet, "you will now be shown the nearest exit."

The door slammed open, and Glass Joe was pushed out screaming. He was followed by Miu, Sora, Harley, Terry, Starscream, Cinder, and so forth, until everyone was pushed into the ocean.

"Goddammit!" Harley snapped. "Can he be even more of an ass?!"

"Aaaaaaand you just jinxed it." Terry said, wringing the water out of his hat.

A small green fishing boat blew its horn as it drove up alongside the plane and the contestants. On the boat stood Chris and, surprisingly, Byakuya. (Which annoyed much of the cast.)

"Ahoy there, contestants. Enjoying your swim?" Chris said mockingly.

"Hmph. If say it's a pleasure to see you all again, but id hate to be called a liar." Byakuya scoffed.

"M-master!" Toko exclaimed.

"Ugh. Not this little shit, again." Rick complained.

"Got a problem, old man?" Byakuya asked coldly. "In case you forgot, I'm helping support this show. And a pretty big contributor, at that. The least you should be is thankful."

"The least you deserve is a foot up your ass." Kiryu muttered.

"Can you at least explain to us why you decided to drop us off in the middle of the ocean?!" Edgeworth asked.

Chris nodded. "Glad you're getting right to the point. Anyway, we dropped you all off here, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. But today's challenge will be taking place where the sun don't shine."

"When you say 'where the sun don't shine', do you mean….. underwater?" Joe asked.

"Give the kid a cigar!" Chris answered. "You're right. This challenge will take place underwater. Or in This case, an underwater city."

"Underwater city?" Miu said. "Please tell me you're not fuckin' referring to Atlantis?!"

"No, we're not. We're going to a place called Rapture."

"Never heard of it." Cinder said.

"That's because most people don't know about it. And there's only one way around here that will even allow you to go there."

"If you look over there…" Byakuya said, pointing to a tiny island not too far away from them. On the little piece of land, there was a giant lighthouse.

"You'll see that lighthouse." Byakuya continued to explain. "Inside, there is a device called a bathysphere, that will take you directly to Rapture. Once you get there, your team's goal is to search the city for something called a plasmid."

"What the hell even is a plasmid?" Susie asked.

"Tch. So many questions." Byakuya muttered. "Plasmids are special serums that are capable of rewriting your DNA with genetic mutations. In an idiot's words, they basically give you superpowers."

"Damn. That sounds freaking cool." Terry said.

"Once your team finds a plasmid, you hightail it back up here to the surface." Chris explained. "The first team back with their plasmid wins immunity and first class. And if every team returns with a plasmid, then there'll be no elimination tonight."

The group cheers at this reveal. As long as they come back with a plasmid, they're not voting anyone off.

"Hold up!" Deadpool said. "Knowing you, I know there's gotta be a catch to this! And whatever the danger is, I'm all for it!"

"Very observant, Deadpool." Chris said. "For once."

"Damn straight."

"But here's the fly in the honey. Rapture is currently left in ruin and despair. Heard a civil war broke out. Now, the place is crawling with things such as Splicers and Big Daddies, and God knows what else?"

"Those don't sound intimidating at all." Starscream boasted. "I bet I can handle them with one arm tied behind my back."

Chris raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? Those things can get dangerous, even for those with plasmids at their disposal. But what do I know? You guys have probably been through worse. And if one of them finishes one you off, we'll dedicate this episode to you. This one especially goes out to weaklings like you, Glass Joe."

Joe gulps nervously. It was bad enough Chris singled him out as the weakest, but now he thinks whatever's down in Rapture will tear him limb from limb. At least if he won the million, he'd put a lot of it into life insurance.

"Well, what are you waiting for?! Christmas?!" Chris said to them. "Get going, because your challenge starts now!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Glass Joe was seen writing his will for the umpteenth time.

"I won't run, but I figure it's finally gonna be my time to go this time." He said with pessimism. "Au revoir, everyone. It was nice knowing you."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Does that fool of a host think I can't handle it?!" Starscream said angrily. "Pah! I'll show him! I'll show them all! Rapture will face true power!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The group swam up to the lighthouse and walked up a short stone stairway with many electric almost lamp-like lights turned off and were now in front of a doorway befitting a lighthouse of such amazingly strong presence. There was a great and round copper plated Securis door with massive metal letters proclaiming "Welcome to Rapture"

"Whoa….." Susie said as she marvelled at this structure.

They all walk through the door, and then…..

BANG!

Startled, they realized that the door they had just entered somehow had shut itself.

"Alright, that's a red flag if I've ever seen one." Kiryu said.

"No going back, my amigo." Terry said.

After a few seconds, lights of many types and sizes had illuminated the lighthouse interior.

It appeared that this place had been worn down by neglect. The stenches of decay and brine were mixed and overwhelming. In some places water was dripping from the ceiling, forming small puddles on the floor. Some of the surfaces with cloth on them were waterlogged homes for mildew and rot.

But even noting all of that, the sights within this lighthouse were awe-inspiring.

"Blast it! Where is the entrance to this place?!" Starscream asked.

They walk across the marble floor, and down a stairway, until they find a spherical metal object with a few lights surrounding a big glass door. Oddly enough, the glass door to this object, like the lighthouse's door, was opened. No doubt it was the bathysphere.

"Well, here it is." Edward said. "The only way to Rapture. Once we get down there, I guess it's good luck to all of us."

(For this, I'm making the bathysphere big enough to hold everyone at the same time)

Inside they found a space large enough to fit roughly two-dozen people. On both sides were cushioned benches with red fabric contrasting the largely gold-based color scheme. But what drew their attention more was a lever that almost seemed to glow gold for them.

"May I have the honors?" Deadpool asked, motioning to the lever.

"Just hurry up, already!" Harley snapped.

With a shrug, Deadpool pulls the lever, and the door to the bathysphere shut. As the bathysphere descended, an image appeared on the glass door. It was the image of a man sitting behind a desk wearing a fancy suit and. He was a man in his early forties of medium height with two thin and straight strokes of mustache, and a prominent cleft chin.

From the Desk of Andrew Ryan

A recorded voice began to speak to them.

"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No …says the man in Washington, It belongs to the poor. No…says the man in the Vatican, It belongs to God. No…..says the man in Moscow, It belongs to everyone!"

I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible."

I chose...RAPTURE!"

And what the cast saw next blew all of their minds. An entire city built beneath the ocean.

It was all one massive structure that formed many lesser, but still quite impressive structures. They all had an industrial art style, like a city mirrored off of the Chrysler building. It could have also been seen as vaguely matching the shape of the densest parts of Manhattan but the buildings were crowded even closer together and more interconnected.

"It's…..amazing!" Edward said with amazement, speaking for most of them. "It's like a whole other world!"

"Eh, I've seen better." Rick said, disinterested.

After passing an even larger streamlined chromium figure like the ones seen in the lighthouse along one of the buildings, they noticed a transparent tubular passageway. Through the glass, they saw a very large and bulky looking man in what looked like a massive deep-sea diving suit wielding something.

At that moment, they started to hear static from a short-wave radio. Two voices were heard, having a conversation without them knowing about it, it seemed.

"…but the lighthouse is all lit up like hellfire…looks like some kind of plane crash…" The first voice says, a man speaking with something like an Irish brogue.

"Were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean…How could it-" The second voice says.

While listening to what these guys were talking about, the contestants began to pass through an opening of metal rings.

"I dunno, you best get over there, and be quick about it. The splicers are coming!" The Irish voice said.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" The second voice said. "How do you know someone's even coming?"

"Cause we got a bathysphere on its way down. That means we've got company!"

Passing through a hole in a tunnel, the bathysphere stops. As they waited for it to start moving again, they found the bathysphere they were in traveling upward. As it made its ascent up a vertical column, they were all placed within darkness and silence.

"I can't see anything!" Meggy said.

"O-okay, just one more minute…the 'sphere- the 'spehre is coming up now!" One of the voices from the radio said.

"Johnny, security is bangin' off all over…get a move on!" The Irish voice says, full of worry.

When the bathysphere finally stopped, the cast couldn't make out much. Aside from a few lights directly above the glass door of the bathysphere, it was pitch black here. And even with those lights, all that was revealed was a red carpet on the floor and two figures.

"Please, lady…I didn't mean to trespass. Just don't hurt me…just let me go…" The first figure, who was one of the voices already heard by them on the radio, says as he is backing away from the second figure towards the glass door with his hands up. Given that he identified the other figure as a lady, they assumed that this had to be Johnny. His voice was frightened.

The other figure, the lady approaching Johnny, made them all uneasy but. She was slowly approaching Johnny while walking with her back hunched. More unsettling, while Johnny was clearly scared this lady was humming a tranquil tune.

"Is that…. one of those splicers Chris was talking about?" Iida wondered.

"Shut up, dumbass!" Miu said. "It could hear us!"

Meanwhile, Johnny continued to plead with the splicer. "You can keep my gun. You can-ACK!"

His trembling voice was suddenly stopped with a scream as the lady lunged forth at him! They heard the sound of flesh being ripped as the lady's hands appeared to be thrust at Johnny's body. For more reasons they couldn't get, the lady then backed away a few steps…only to run at him and punch him yet again. They managed to get a better look at the lady. While many features couldn't be seen, the one that could was enough. Her body was covered in dirt and her skin appeared to be a dried blood color. And her hands… WERE HOOKS!

"WHAT KIND OF SICK NIGHTMARE IS THIS?!" Joe cried. "WE JUST SAW A MAN GET KILLED!"

Joe spoke for all of them that they were honestly terrified.

"Quit being a baby." Starscream said. "It's not the worst thing I've ever seen."

The lady started breathing heavily, as if she were sniffing the air. While her face couldn't be seen, the group saw her look at them.

"Are these people new?" The hook handed lady says with a voice of calm questioning.

All of them froze, not moving and forgetting to breathe. Fear had locked them up. The silence after the lady spoke was killing them.

"AAARRRRGH!" She suddenly roared completely out of nowhere in a loud shriek!

With that, she jumped out of the view of the glass door. They hoped she was gone. Unfortunately, they were wrong.

They could hear the scratching and grinding of the splicer attacking the outside of the bathysphere. After about a minute of tension, the shaking and scratching stopped.

"Nobody else is feeling nauseous, are they?" Susie quickly asked. "Yeah, me either."

The quiet silence was broken by a voice coming from the shortwave radio.

"Would you kindly pick up that shortwave radio?" The Irish voice from before asks.

Being the nearest to it, Meggy picks up the radio, and the voice spoke again.

"I don't know how you lot found yourselves here, but I've never been one to question Providence. I'm Atlas, and I aim to keep you alive."

"That's a relief." Tari said.

"Atlas?" Kiryu questioned.

"If my watch is correct, that bathysphere's door should be openin' in a second or two. Once it does, keep on moving ... we're gonna have to get you all to higher ground."

"We've actually got bigger priorities here, pal!" Harley said. "We're here to find plasmids-"

"But if you were able to help us get out of here after we accomplish our goal, we'd very much appreciate it." Edward said, interrupting Harley by covering her mouth.

At this moment, the hatch to the bathysphere opened, and everyone stepped out. Here they were, in Rapture. And it was already off to a rough start.

"Well, we'd best better get going." Kiryu said, motioning to his team. "Good luck with your Atlas friend, but we've got bigger fish to fry."

The Dark Fun Gang then run off in a different direction, ready to scour Rapture for a plasmid of their own.

"Well, I'm still willing to listen to this guy's advice." Meggy said, still holding the radio.

"Hey, you wanna listen to some fuckin' wackjob voice you just met, be my guest." Miu said.

"She makes a decent point." Edgeworth said. "Much like the others, this is where we part ways."

"Then let's boogie, guys." Terry said as he cracked his knuckles. "We got a plasmid to find."

The Wolves run off in a completely opposite direction from the Dark Fun Gang.

This left just the Aces. They quietly walk through the room, even stepping on the blood of Johnny.

Rick then takes out his blaster. "I'm willing to bet money on that splicer still lurking around here."

"We're gonna need to draw her out of hiding. But you're gonna have to trust me." Atlas said.

The team gave a nod. They were willing to trust this guy. Even if they just met him, he was probably their best shot of getting the job done.

Rick decides to lure out the splicer by firing shots at the ceiling. With a screech, the splicer leaps down, ready to rip them to shreds.

"Let me handle this." Cinder said. She brought out her blades and superheated them. Quick as a flash, she slashed and incinerated the splicer into dust.

"Die. Even in your afterlife."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Almost forgot how vicious Cinder could be." Edward said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Alright. She's dead." Meggy said. "Thanks, Mr. Atlas."

"No problem, lass." Atlas replied. "Unlike those other friends of yours, you've got a protector on your side. By the way, I never caught your names."

"O-oh. My name's Meggy."

"And I'm Ed." Edward said.

"Harley." Harley said.

"I'm Tari." Tari replied.

"Cinder."

"The great and brilliant Dr. Coyle."

"I'm Rick, and I don't give a flying fuck about anything. Not even myself."

"You seem like quite the motley crew." Atlas said. "It's a pleasure to meet you all, I just wish it could be under better circumstances."

"It's not your fault." Tari said. "We're just doing this for a reality show."

"Whatever your cause is, I applaud it." Atlas told them. "But now it appears you lot may have got the attention of that bloke, Andrew Ryan."

"Ryan?" Meggy asked. "The guy from that slideshow?"

"The very same. He don't take to kindly to trespassers hoping to loot Rapture. He's the key to finding what you're looking for. I know I'm probably asking for too much, but… would you kindly kill him for me?"

(The Hungry Wolves)

(Just as a disclaimer, I won't explain how these guys reach other locations you wouldn't reach until later in Bioshock. If I covered every detail of the game, we'd be here for 10 hours)

The Wolves now found themselves in the Medical Pavilion of Rapture. They quietly walked through a dimly lit passageway. Throughout Rapture, they could feel minor tremors and shakes. Seems like this place was just one pile of junk ready to collapse in on itself.

"Up ahead!" Reg said, pointing ahead of them. Being the robot he was, his sight and senses were much better than a normal human.

Of course, it was a horde of splicers running towards them.

"Finally, some action!" Susie said as she took her axe out. The teen managed to slice one in half as it was about to claw her face out.

"Crack Shoot!" Terry said, leaping into the air and smashing a couple splicers into the ground with a spinning roundhouse kick. Reg fires a small energy blast out of his hand that vaporizes another one. Toko (Now having switched to Genocide Jack with her stun gun), hacked and slashed through the remaining ones with her Genoscissors.

"You guys never cease to amaze me." Edgeworth said.

"Eh, these guys were easy." Terry said, sounding disappointed. "These splicers don't give me much of a fight."

"Well, you surely don't want another fight like what happened with Big Mom." Deadpool said, shooting a splicer they presumed was dead, but now was.

"Yeah, she tore several assholes through you!" Jack pointed out. "Pretty much what I wish master Togami would do to me." As she said this, she began to blush.

"What do ya know?" Susie said to Miu. "Seems you're not the only one from your world who's a bit perverted. Though you still take the cake."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Geez." Terry groaned. "Why is everyone from her world either crazy, weird, an ass, or all of the above? Whatever kind of relationship she has with that guy, it's...not right. It's straight up toxic."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They looked around and saw another metal door to their left. Without a second thought, they approached the door and it opened for them. They entered and found themselves in a pathway that looked far more stable and solid. There was a large glass window to an equally solid room to their right and another glass window to the ocean on their left.

"Finally! A place that doesn't look like an aquarium." Deadpool said.

BOOM! K-KRASH! KATHOOOM!

Suddenly, without any warning, a massive shape was hurled through the right side window just a few paces ahead of the Wolves. It blasted its way through the air at shocking speed, given how heavy it seemed. A faint orange glow lingered in the room next to it, shown through the now glassless opening. It slammed into the window towards the sea.

The shock and surprise of the event rendered all of the Wolves, of usually capable intellect, dumb for several moments. Part of the reason was because of what had rocketed past them.

No doubt about it. It was a Big Daddy.

Despite its obvious weight, it appeared like this metal monster had jumped out at them. However, several important details deflated that idea. It was on fire, with swirling globs of yellow-orange energy now eating away at its rusted and thoroughly blackened body. Its many portholes were not glowing, not green nor red nor any color aside from black.

"Let's kill it!" Terry said, tightening his gloves.

Jack put her hand in front of him. "Hold your horses, blondie! There's someone else!"

The Big Daddy collapses from the flames, but unfortunately, there were two figures in the foreground who dominated their focus. One was approaching from the left towards a defenseless being on the right. The taller figure wielded a rusted pipe in his deformed and filth-covered fingers. No doubt it was another splicer. The shorter being held out her tiny hands grey like soot as they shook with increasing vigor. The advancing being walked with the gait of victory while the other cowered in defenselessness as she slowly backed up, with her tiny steps being like literal baby steps.

The splicer was approaching the little girl, who was helpless.

The Wolves did not move, and did not respond. The whole affair had a distinctly unreal atmosphere.

"It's just you…and me…and all the tasty ADAM I can take…" The creeping splicer in a white bunny mask said with an unsettling British accent as he slowly raised his pipe upward, unaware of those watching him.

His prey, the Little Sister, just as unaware of the audience to this encounter, fell backwards. As the pipe was raised as high above the rabbit mask's stiff ears as it could be, the Little Sister screamed while holding her arms in front of her face in a futile attempt at defense.

BANG!

A gunshot rang through, hitting the splicer in the arm. It turned around, facing the direction that the bullet hit it, but was treated with a gunshot to the face. The splicer fell to the floor, dead and lifeless.

"Stay away from her or it is you who will be shot next!" A voice shouted out from above. They looked up at the balcony and saw a young woman of European descent holding a rifle. at the top of her head there was a shapeless bob of brown hair, a greasy, lanky ponytail that swung against her bony shoulders. Her skin was grey and ashen, like it was covered in soot. She looked only slightly healthier than the little girl. The bright but dirtied reddish pink dress draped over her body only slightly helped in covering that up.

"I'll not have 'em hurt mien Little Ones!" She shouted with a swipe of her arm as her thick German-like accent bounced off the walls. She then aimed her weapon at the Wolves, and cocked the gun.

"Fuck you, you raggedy ass bitch!" Miu shouted.

"Hold it!" Edgeworth said. "We mean you and the girl no harm! We are here on different business, and pose no threat to you."

"Yeah, we're just here for one of those plasmid thingies." Susie said. "We're not DIO. We don't hurt kids."

(As Dororo is watching this, she gives a serious nod at this remark)

"Then prove it." The woman said, slowly lowering her weapon." She then threw something at them.

Miu quickly caught the object, and they all observed it. It was a small container holding a blue liquid of unknown origin.

"Is that… a plasmid?" Reg asked.

"Use this, free them of their torment! I will make it be worth your while… somehow…"

"We could make a run for it….." Jack quietly suggested. "We got a plasmid right there. Let's ditch the broad and head back up top."

"This is a serum of mein own design," The woman explained, seeing their confusion. "It will free the lil' ones of their torment, undo the changes that made them into monsters. It will free them from their affliction without breaking their bodies or minds."

"I say we go with Ms. Snip Snips' advice." Waluigi said. "Let's bounce. That kid doesn't even look human."

"You don't even look human." Susie jokes.

Miu looked at the plasmid curiously. Of course, some of her team wanted to just leave now that they had this plasmid. But she looked over at the Little Sister, slowly backing away in fear. She looked so tormented, so hurt, and this would make the child feel better. As much as she wanted to win, and get in better with her team, Miu's judgement told her to save the child.

"I need a syringe." Miu said firmly.

"I got you." Deadpool said. He pulled a clean and unused syringe out of his magic satchel.

(Do not share needles, kids. And now, back to the plot)

She puts some of the contents of the plasmid into the syringe, and walks carefully to the Little Sister, who was cornered at the wall, shaking in fear. Miu gently takes the girl's arm, and injects her super quickly with the fluid.

(I have to do it this way as none of them are like the protagonist from the game)

In a flash of light, the Little Sister appears to have a more human-like skin tone and appearance. For the most part, she was just a regular little girl again.

"Th-thank you, miss." The girl said as she stood up and ran off to God knows where

"That was a good call of judgment, Miu." Edgeworth said. "I'm impressed."

"Well, there goes our easy win." Waluigi groaned.

"Give it a break, man." Terry said. "Miu just saved the kid."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It's what I had to do." Miu said. "Sor-ry if I cost us the fucking win right there. At least some of my team appreciated my act of heroism. If you think I'm gonna sit there and let a child suffer, then you can go royally fuck yourself."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'm impressed, girl." The woman said. "Your choice has earned my respect. And mein trust. Even if some of you were eager to run off. Regardless, I plan to repay you all as promised. Please, come with me."

"So what, we're gonna just follow her?" Susie said. "What if our reward is something crappy?"

"She's gonna reward us, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Deadpool said casually. "I mean, this wouldn't be the first time someone had a gun pointed at me, and then they would reward me afterwards."

"I'm not even going to ask." Reg said.

"Tick tock, you clowns!" Jack said. "The sooner we go with her, the sooner we can get back to our hunt."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Dark Fun Gang)

The Dark Fun Gang were searching around in the Smugglers Hideout. It was a flooded mess of crates, docks, and wet and rocky tunnels.

In a large and sort of flooded room, the Dark Fun Gang were busy fending off a horde of splicers.

"I think that's the last of them." Sora said, panting heavily. "Who would've thought there'd be so many of those things running around in this place."

"All of this searching, and still nothing!" Starscream complained.

"It's like trying to find a needle in the world's largest haystack." Kiryu said.

"We cannot give up!" Iida told them. "Our team is slowly but surely making a comeback. If we keep complaining, then we are doomed to fail!"

The Dark Fun Gang shudder as they heard the maniacal laughter of someone.

"I-i-is it another splicer?!" Joe asked, his knees wobbling and shaking with fear.

"It sounded like it came from over there." Isabelle whispered as she pointed in the direction of the laugh.

Kiryu makes a gesture to his team that tells them to stay behind him and be quiet. They quietly tiptoe and peek over a pile of crates. They see a young man. He was tall, kind of lanky, with scruffy pink hair. His attire consisted of a yellow suit, white knee high boots, and a red cape. With him, he carried a baseball bat with a knife taped to the end. He was laughing to himself as he was picking up many objects and small trinkets that lay on the ground.

"HALT, WHOEVER YOU ARE!" Iida yelled.

"Huh?!"

The pink haired man turns to see the Dark Fun Gang. Once he sees this group, he tries to put on a menacing and confident bravado.

"Look upon me and fear, travellers!" The man said. He menacingly walks over to a crate and, to prove that he is a certified "bad dude", kicks it as hard as he can. Too bad the kick hurts his foot, and he clutches it in pain.

"AHA!" He continued. "That's right! Just a little taste of what happens when you mess with me!"

He then holds his foot in pain again. "Oww! It hurts to walk! Behold! Your worst nightmare in all its dark glory!"

He dramatically flips around, but he turns around too fast, and his cape kind of smacks him in the face.

"I, Giovanni Potage, an up and coming villain, have come to steal the precious treasures of Rapture! Tremble before me!"

The Dark Fun Gang are dumbfounded and astonished.

"Hey! That was a really cool monologue and everything! I'm the baddest of the bad! I currently work under the Galactic tyrant, Gjira!"

"Never heard of him." Sora said.

Giovanni tries to attack them. He reaches back and a ball of red liquid forms in his hands and chucks it at them. The ball hits Glass Joe. The boxer cries out, but he looks unharmed.

"This is my first mission under Gjira, and I won't let you punks ruin it! How'd you like the taste of my epithet?!"

Glass Joe takes some of the liquid and tastes it. "Hm. It's pretty good, actually. Is this tomato basil?"

"Why yes, I seasoned it myself, and-ACK! NO! It's lava! Or acid! AH, UH, it's Lav-Acid!"

"It tastes like soup. Is your epithet thingy soup?"

"You dare undermine the great Giovanni Potage?! Teleports behind you!..."

Giovanni appears behind Joe and takes out his bat, ready to hit the boxer, but something else appears behind them.

"KILL THEM, MR. BUBBLES!"

A Big Daddy swats Joe away with his drill arm. The Dark Fun Gang now sees a Little Sister, accompanied by a Big Daddy.

"Joe! Are you okay?!" Iida said.

"No more peanuts for me, stewardess." Joe said, disoriented. "Godzilla is my dad."

Starscream fired a blast at the Big Daddy, but it was unfazed.

"Tear them into little bits!" The Little Sister yelled.

The Big Daddy does as instructed and charges at Kiryu. The yakuza catches it while it's running. The two try to push each other like two bulls. During the struggle, Kiryu takes one hand and begins violently punching the Big Daddy. This pushes it back a bit, and Kiryu hits the monster so hard, he sends it flying through the air and smashes it through a wall.

"Mr. Bubbles!" The Little Sister cried as she ran after the Big Daddy.

"Rapture, the world's largest pile of junk." Kiryu said, dusting himself off.

"Quite impressive….." Giovanni said. "You're quite the badass. Then again, so am I. But I'm more bad than ass."

Joe weakly stumbled back over his team. He looked bruised, but at least he was in one piece.

"Are you okay?" Isabelle asked.

"It's not my first injury, and it's surely not going to be my last."

"That's funny." Starscream said to the wannabe villain. "Considering you tried to attack us."

"I'm impressed with your skills." Giovanni replied. "You really seem like a tough group of bad dudes. Especially you." He then pointed at Kiryu.

"Well, I was in the yakuza." Kiryu said. "And I'll admit I've done some things I'm not proud of."

"Let me affirm to you that I am no "bad dude"!" Iida said. "I am a hero in training, so I will not be caught on the wrong side of the law!"

"How would you guys like to be minions?!" Giovanni offered.

"What?!"

"C'mon!" Giovanni reasoned. "Ever since I quit the Banzai Blasters, I've been trying to make it on my own as a solo villain. Even though Gjira has forced me to work against my will. And trust me, he's not a nice guy! But every cool villain needs cool minions! And I make sure to help my minions as much as possible. Even though that overgrown lizard Gjira abuses his minions. Or is it a dinosaur? All I know is that he can turn into Go-"

"Not a chance!" Iida said firmly. "We will not work with a supervillain like you!"

"Sure." Sora answered casually. "Let's be minions."

"Excuse me?!" Iida exclaimed.

"Me too." Isabelle said. "As long as he can help us win the challenge."

"I suppose." Joe answered.

"You help us out, we'll help you." Kiryu said. "We need a plasmid."

"Awesome!" Giovanni said. "We will reap the rewards of what this undersea city has to offer!"

"So how did you plan to carry all that treasure back up top?" Starscream asked skeptically.

"Uhh….I don't know." Giovanni answered awkwardly. "Just the cool ones!"

"You didn't really think this through, did you?" Kiryu asked.

"Uhhhh…. Alright, boys! We've got a city to loot! Here's the first little trinket I found down here!"

He tosses a container with a yellow liquid inside of it. Kiryu catches it, and his eyes go wide when he sees it.

"I think… this is the plasmid we need!"

"Wait, really?!" Iida said.

"It's got to be."

"Glad your deadly neighborhood criminal could help!" Giovanni bragged. The soup powered villain then hands them some other things he found, but it was all junk.

"That plasmid is the only real thing of value." Sora said. "Now we need to get out of here!"

"Then let's find a bathysphere, minions!" Giovanni said. "We will be filthy rich, and show that drunk punk Gjira that I am no joke! We ride or die! But remember, safety is important. Even for villains."

The Dark Fun Gang and Giovanni begin to leave

"Hey, Giovanni." Isabelle asked innocently. "Are you secretly nice?"

"W-WHAT?! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! SAY THAT AGAIN AND YOUR FIRED!"

As they walk, Starscream yanks Giovanni up by the collar of his uniform.

"Let me tell you something, organic!" The Decepticon growled. "Even if you're helping us win this challenge, I'm NOBODY'S minion! Even if these guys follow you, I will not take orders from some pathetic human like you! Do I make myself clear?!"

Giovanni gulps nervously. "Crystal."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"How shameful that we had help from a villain." Iida said. "Even if he appears to be nicer than he lets on…."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Like I said, nobody is my boss, but myself!" Starscream declared.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Amazing Aces)

"So remind me, why are we helping this guy?" Rick asked.

The Aces had found themselves crawling through a dusty air vent, ready to find the man known as Andrew Ryan, and in mafia terms, "whack him".

"Didn't you listen to what Atlas told us?" Meggy told him.

Flashback

"You want us to kill this guy?!" Edward exclaimed. "No way! Out of the question!"

Atlas sighed. "You're right, boyo. I probably came on too strong. I only asked because this man killed me wife and son. I loved them so much, and this monster took them from me. My loving wife Moira, and my son Patrick."

"That's awful….." Tari said.

"Now….. he's got all of Rapture in his back pocket. A while back, he butted heads with a con man named Frank Fontaine. The two didn't see eye to eye, and had different views on how the city should be run. The man started a rebellion to combat him. But last I heard, that bloke Fontaine died during all of it. Now, Ryan has all of Rapture under his thumb. He's got the plasmids, and he's got the ADAM. That makes him the head honcho."

"This guy sounds like a total ass." Harley said as she pounded her bat in her hand. "If we're gonna do this, I call dibs on caving this guy's skull in."

"If he's got the plasmids, then I guess that leaves us with very little options." Edward said as he thought this over.. "Alright, fine. We'll go find this guy. If you want to kill him, Harley, then by all means."

(End of Flashback)

"You guys should be nearing up on Ryan's office." Atlas told them.

"Damn." Edward said. "It's even tighter in this vent than I thought. I wouldn't be able to get this far if I was normal sized. Lucky I've got a small body.

…

…

…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"OH NO! I JUST CALLED MYSELF A TINY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!" Edward cried, as he realized what he let slip.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Nice to see someone who isn't afraid of taking a life." Coyle whispered to Harley.

"Yeah? Thanks." Harley replied. "I don't always cause pain for fun. Sometimes, some dickish punks just deserve it."

"I sympathize with your cause. I too, must cause pain to those that insult me. We're not too different, you and I?"

"Okay, I'll bite. What the hell are you getting at?"

"Hey! We're here!" Meggy said.

Looking through the grate in the vent, they see Ryan below in his office, having himself a nice little game of minigolf.

"That's him?" Tari asked.

"Aye, lass." Atlas answered. "That's the son of a bitch. Hopefully after this, my family can rest in peace."

On his desk, they saw an assortment of colorful bottles of plasmids, tonics, and other human enhancements.

"Jackpot." Rick said quietly. "Let's fuck him up."

"On the count of three, guys." Edward told them. "We gotta get this guy in the right position. One…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Olympus Heights)

Ahh, Olympus Heights. A district that housed some of the most well established apartments in all of Rapture. The upper class lived like kings here.

Unfortunately, we're not going to be looking at this part of it. For now, we're delving into the sewers of Olympus Heights.

The woman that the Wolves met in the Medical Pavilion, was leading them to a safehouse she had down there. Upon entering, they find a shelter that is lightly furnished, several beds, and is littered with books, toys, and storage crates. There were around 18 little girls, playing and enjoying themselves, who were were rescued from sisterhood by the woman. The kids eyed the Wolves with fascination as the woman led them to a small table and sat them down on the floor.

Terry looked around the shelter. "Nice place you got here, miss…..?"

"Tenenbaum." The woman answered. "Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum. Let me thank you again for saving a little one. You've done a heroic act."

"Pssh, it was nothing." Miu bragged. "Just doing the right thing is all."

"So you down here?" Susie asked. "Kind of lame looking."

"This is the only place where these girls can be safe." Tenenbaum said. "These girls were also freed from the affliction that turned them into Little Sisters."

"How did they turn into those things, if I may ask?" Edgeworth asked.

"They were experiments. They were infused with a chemical known as ADAM. It's a chemical substance I discovered that is capable of rewriting genetic material and natural abilities. I hate to admit it, but I was responsible for creating the Little Sisters."

"Well, the plot thickens." Deadpool said. "Go on."

"But I regretted my actions." Tenenbaum continued. "I worked under a man named Fontaine. He fired me, and I was labelled a mad woman down here. I live here with these little ones, who I've rescued."

"This Fontaine guy seems like a real piece of work, alright." Terry remarked.

"If I may ask, for what reason have you guys for coming to Rapture?"

"It's for a reality show." Terry answered. "We were tasked with coming down and returning with a plasmid."

Tenenbaum looked a little puzzled. (Granted, this game takes place in 1960, so it's understandable.)

"Hmm. I have no idea what a reality show is, but your friend's actions have proven I can trust you. As promised, I would help you for your kindness."

One of the little girls walks over to tgem, and timidly holds up a container with a green liquid inside. The gift was another plasmid.

"Are you serious?!" Miu exclaimed.

Tenenbaum nodded. "Yes. It is the least I can do."

"Thank you, ma'am." Edgeworth told Tenenbaum. "We greatly appreciate this."

Deadpool takes the plasmid and carefully tucks it away.

"Thanks again, lady." Susie said. "But I think we'd better get going. C'mon, guys."

The Wolves then get up and proceed to leave the shelter.

"Wait!" Tenenbaum called out. "Just….. be careful out there, okay?"

"Don't worry." Deadpool said. "We've been through worse."

"And trust us, no baddies can match the power of Waluigi!" Waluigi bragged.

"Nice to see you're looking in a better mood from earlier." Terry told the cheater. "Finally figured out your plan involving Isabelle?"

"Shaddup! Let's just go!"

The Wolves then leave the shelter, waving goodbye to Tenenbaum and the girls.

"This is too crazy." Toko said. "This whole trip has been one complete nightmare. Can I ask you guys something?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Dark Fun Gang)

"So, you guys are on a reality show, right?" Giovanni asked as they were walking along. The group was carrying with them "treasure", but it was mostly just little trinkets that Giovanni thought were cool.

"Yeah." Kiryu answered.

"Let me ask you something….."

A split screen was shown between Toko and Giovanni.

"Why did you even try out for this show in the first place?"

The scenes flash back and forth between these characters sharing their reasons.

That's actually an interesting question." Kiryu said. "The orphanage could always use more money, so that's why I signed up."

"For the fame and glory that comes from winning, obviously." Waluigi said.

"This show gives me more opportunities to see new faces and worlds beyond what I've already seen." Sora said.

"For cash." Susie said. "Nothing more."

"I wished to represent my school, and my family." Iida answered. "If I'm to carry on the name Ingenium, then maybe giving it my all on this show is the way to do it."

"Gumshoe originally insisted I take the time off to do this." Edgeworth said. "He thought I needed a vacation. And sometimes, it's hard to say no to him."

"I could totally use a bigger lab." Miu said. "That money would be a big help."

"Because MemeKing chose me out of the suggestions." Deadpool said.

"I figured this show would make me stronger." Joe said. "I was fully aware of the danger, but I took the risk anyway."

"Mostly to prove I am the best." Starscream answered.

"This is my vacation." Isabelle said. "Mr. Mayor suggested some time off would do me some good. Plus, I'm always ready to make new friends."

I wanted to see more of the world beyond the Abyss." Reg said. "And see what it has to offer."

"To be honest, I'm always on the move." Terry said. "Travelling the world, and getting stronger through the fights I get into along the way. And with no KOF tournament currently, this drifter needs something to do to pass the time."

"Wow." Toko said.

"You guys are impressive." Giovanni said. "It's nice when minions have ambition. Minions are the lifeblood of villainy."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"He may be weird, but he's certainly loyal to his allies." Sora said. "I'm having a hard time believing if this guy is really evil."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Amazing Aces)

"...Two…...THREE!"

They bust the grate open, and land right in front of Ryan. Ryan didn't look all too surprised to see them, weirdly enough.

"Ah… I see he sent a weird group of people this time. Tell me, do you lot know the difference between a man and a slave? A man chooses, a slave obeys."

"Shut your mouth, ass face!" Harley said. She takes out her bat and brutally bludgeons Ryan in the skull. The man drops to the ground as Meggy goes and takes one of the plasmids off his desk.

Once Harley finishes, Ryan looks like a Mortal Kombat fatality as he laid dead on the ground."

"What's this?" Rick asked as he pulled this little odd object out of Ryan's desk. "Is this….. a key?"

"It is." Atlas answered. "Again, I thank you for killing him. Would you kindly put that key into that machine over there? He triggered the room to self-destruct when you guys burst in. Put the key in, and it'll stop the timer!"

Without hesitation, Rick runs to the machine, and shoves the key in like a cartridge. With a puff of smoke coming from the machine, the lights begin to dim.

"Aaah! Nice work, boyo!" Atlas said. He then laughs evilly, then begins to speak in a Bronx accent. "It's time to end this little masquerade. There ain't no "Atlas", kids. Never was."

"W-what?!" Meggy gasped. The rest of the Aces listened to "Atlas" in disbelief.

"Someone in my line of work takes on a variety of aliases. Hell, once, I was even a Chinaman for six months. But you've been sports, so I guess I owe you a little honesty. Name's Frank Fontaine."

At that moment, security bots flew into the room and began to open fire on them. The Aces made a mad dash out of there, who'll Fontaine continued to speak on the radio.

"I gotta say, I had a lot of business partners in my life, but you all... 'Course, the fact that you all listened to my bullshit when I said "Would You Kindly" might've had something to do with it, but still... Now, as soon as that machine finishes processing the genetic key you fished off Ryan, I'm gonna run Rapture tits to toes. You've been pals. You know what they say: never mix business with friendship. Thanks for everything, kids. Don't forget to say "Hi" to Ryan for me."

"That dirty double crossing motherfucker!" Rick seethed. "I knew it was a bad idea to trust this guy!"

The Aces quickly run out of there, and try to figure out a plan, with the security bots still chasing them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Admit it." Deadpool said. "Even if you've never played Bioshock, how many of you saw this plot twist coming from a mile away?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Proving Grounds)

The Dark Fun Gang were running through a museum, avoiding the turrets and security bots that had suddenly turned on them. Many corpses lay on this gauntlet, as the Proving Grounds were used as a training gauntlet.

Isabelle was seen crying as she ran. Giovanni took notice of this and got mad.

"Nobody, and I mean NOBODY! Makes my minions Take this, LAVA GRENADE!"

Giovanni creates a hot ball of soup and chucks it at one of the bots. The soup causes it to short circuit and blow up.

The Dark Fun Gang takes cover in the gift shop.

"Okay, I think we're safe. For now." Kiryu said.

"That's good." Giovanni said. "I need to make sure all of my minions are unharmed."

"Unharmed? Yes." Joe answered. "Terrified? Very much."

"Uh? Guys? Is that you?" A voice said.

The Dark Fun Gang look around the shop and see the Aces and the Wolves taking refuge in there. When Isabelle and Waluigi make eye contact, they quickly look away from each other.

"Boy, am I glad to see you guys." Sora said. "What the heck happened? We were trying to head back up top with our plasmid, and then the next second, these robots were attacking us."

"And who the H E double fuck is this guy?!" Miu asked, pointing at Giovanni.

"I am Giovanni Potage!" The wannabe villain said dramatically. "And your teammates are my minions!"

"No I'm not!" Iida and Starscream said.

"Well, about the robots…" Meggy said, twiddling her thumbs. "Turns out Atlas was really Fontaine, and he disappeared a long time ago under a pseudonym, and we killed Ryan, found this key, accidentally gave Atlas who is Fontaine complete control of Rapture, and he's trying to kill us all off, and OH NO, I'VE GONE CROSS EYED."

"Then we need to get out of this place, pronto!" Toko said.

"I don't think you guys get to decide that!" Fontaine said on the radio. "As long as I have control, you all ain't going nowhere but an early grave. This place is going down, and everyone but me is not gonna make it out alive. A monopoly on ADAM makes Standard Oil look like the Piggly Wiggly. All that's left is burying the bodies... And, when they're already six miles under the Atlantic, you got one helluva head start!"

"Wherever you are, we're gonna make you pay!" Terry said angrily.

"You think you're some kinda hero? All right, all right, you looking to slug it out? I'm game. But I've got all the ADAM in the city, pal. And now, I'm jake to take her out for a spin…"

"There's only enough room for one villain here, pal!" Giovanni said. "And we're gonna make you eat those words!"

"Then hoof it to Point Prometheus. We'll discuss this like men. You all, me, a submarine topside, and more ADAM than you could possibly imagine. Come fight me, if you dare!"

Edward takes the radio and smashes it by tossing it on the ground.

"I thought he'd never shut up." Susie said.

They all now knew that if they want to get out of here alive, then they need to give Fontaine the business. The painful business. They all had the same idea.

Deadpool takes out a gun and cocks it.

"Cowabunga it is!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The whole group walks through the place, in a slow motion badass way. They made their way to Point Prometheus, and stepped into a giant elevator that would take them to the highest point of the place. The elevator drops them off in front of a giant door.

"This is it." Giovanni said. "We ride or die."

Giovanni takes his bat and ligrly bops Meggy on the head twelve times.

"Ow!"

"Apologies, but this is standard minion procedure. Since 13 is my lucky number, every thirteenth hit from me is a super devastating critical hit."

"Oh. That's pretty cool."

"Thanks, beanie girl. Gotta have that critical hit for when I really need it."

"Stay on your toes, guys." Kiryu said. The yakuza threw his shirt off, something he does when he's getting serious for a fight. The silver dragon tattoo on his back shined in the dim light. He then walks to the door and punches it so hard it flies off its hinges. And they were treated to a horrific sight.

Fontaine was hooked up too a machine. It was splicing his genes with plasmids and ADAM through tubes injected in his body. But the ADAM mutated in a hulking, statuesque monster, unrecognizable from the man he once was.

"Don't know what I was thinkin'." Fontaine said with a malicious growl. " Never spliced up once the whole time I was down here in this aquarium. Figured it was bad to mix business with pleasure, but whooo! Forget all the nose-candy and floor polish I been wastin' time with! This stuff is the mother's milk!

Hah! That might be enough for the working scrubs and the pencil pushers, but I need more, more. I want to splice 'till there ain't nothing left to splice with!

Fontaine breaks free from the machine. Fire, lightning, and chemicals dripped and crackled from his body.

"Didn't think you lot had the guts to show up! Now, you're in my domain! I'm god down here! I was calling myself Atlas and leading an army. Ryan and his precious Rapture. You don't have to build a city to make people worship you... Just make the chumps believe they're worth a nickel."

"Are you okay?" Terry asked. He revved his fist back and charged at Fontaine, unleashing an explosive punch.

"BUSTER WOLF!"

The smoke clears, and Fontaine looks more annoyed than hurt.

"You done?"

He picks up Terry with his monstrous strength and smashes his face into the ground.

"Terry!" Everyone cried.

"If this is the best you got, then this is gonna be easy pickins'." Fontaine said.

Everyone sits up around the room, and try attacking Fontaine from all directions. The spliced up con man shops away energy blasts, flames, and retaliated with elemental blasts of his own. He aims a blast of fire at Harley, but Coyle leaps at her and knocks her out of the way.

"Hey…. (huff)... thanks." Harley said. "I owe ya one."

"Oh, I know you will….." Coyle drawls.

Fontaine takes Starscream and Iida and smashes them into each other like toy cars.

"This power….. This powerrr… I AM UNSTOPPABLE!"

"Blizzaga!" Sora said, firing out a blizzard stream out of his Keyblade. Fontaine just flexes by shooting ice of his own that overpowers the young hero.

"TRINITY… GEYSER!" Terry yelled. He brought both fists up and slams them on the ground, creating massive pillars of energy. But Fontaine just swats them away.

Fontaine grabs Kiryu by the arm and begins knocking the heroes with him. He then creates a small cyclone that pulls in most of the competitors into a pile. They were all weakened and too fatigued to get up. Fontaine stood over them, with an elemental charged foot ready to stomp them all.

"Sometimes, you just oughta give up." Fontaine said triumphantly. "Right and wrong have no meaning down here. Justice isn't black and white. Those with power….. ARE JUSTICE!"

But there were two people he didn't notice. Meggy and Giovanni stood at the side, out of his sight, forming a plan.

"I got an idea." Meggy told him. "I'm gonna distract him, then you go for the finishing blow."

"Got it, Beanie Girl. Sorry, I give my minions cool nicknames."

"It's fine, just hide."

Giovanni runs off and Meggy pulls the plasmid out of her pocket.

"Sorry, guys. But it's do or die!"

"Sometimes, the bad guys just win!" Fontaine says. Right as he's about to stomp them all, hes caught off guard as a plasmid bottle hits him in the back of the head and shatters. The liquid drips down his body as he slowly turns his head to see Meggy, the attacker. He then directs gis attention to her and slowly walks to her, ready to crush her.

"Now you've gone and done it, girl. You're busto. Do you honestly think your little stunt could beat me?!"

As he stood over Meggy, the former inkling just gave a sneaky grin.

"No. That's just to distract you.

GIOVANNI! NOW!"

"HUH?!"

Giovanni screams as he leaps forward with his Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction. Fontaine is helpless as Giovanni hits him in the head with an insanely dangerous hit.

CRITICAL 13

He hits Fontaine so hard that he sends him smashing into a wall, leaving a crater. Fontaine groans as he falls out of the crater and collapses to the ground.

Giovanni strikes a cool pose and looks at Meggy.

"Looks like a bad guy did win!" Giovanni said triumphantly.

Meggy pumped her fist in the air. "Yeah!"

As the other contestants get back up, a horde of little girls run into the room and rush to Fontaine. Everyone watches in horror as the girls begin to violently stab the roided up con man with needles.

"Quick!" Edward told them. "The escape submarine is this way!"

They all run to the sub, but Fontaine leaves them some final words, even if he's dying!"

"YOU WILL ALL PAY ONE DAY!" Fontaine yelled. "THERE'S SOME SUFFERING COMIN' YOUR WAY! JUST YOU WAIT…..!"

But they needed to get out of there quickly, so they quickly got inside the sub. Miu takes a quick glance at the little girls.

"Thanks, you guys. Glad I could help."

Once they're in, the submarine ejects itself as it begins to float up to the surface. They all watch through the window as all of Rapture collapses.

"That...was…...exhausting!" Joe said.

"If say it's a shame to watch it go, but I don't wanna be a liar." Cinder said.

The sub rises back up to the surface, and the Wolves are the first ones to hop out. He sees Chris and Byakuya, still on the little boat, playing cards. The other teams plus Giovanni follow suit.

"Oh, you're all back." Chris said. "And all in one piece. That's a shocker."

"Quite the shocker." Byakuya added.

"Please tell us our next challenge will be somewhere peaceful next time!" Tari cried.

"It was rough." Deadpool said. "And you missed one hell of a fight! But we got the plasmid!"

The merc pulls out the plasmid and shows it as proof.

"Awesome!" Chris said. "Since the Wolves managed to get out of that sub first, with a plasmid in tow, you guys win first class."

"Booyah!" The Wolves cheered.

"And as long as the other teams got their plasmids, then there's no elimination tonight."

"We got ours!" Isabelle said, holding theirs up.

"Umm….." Meggy said nervously. "I had to sacrifice ours to save our lives."

"Then it looks like your team is losing a member." Byakuya said.

The Aces groan, but Edward gives Meggy a pat on the back.

"Don't worry, Meggy." Ed said. "I would've done the same thing. Just know me and Tari won't vote for you."

"You did an excellent job, Beanie Girl." Giovanni told her. "I hereby promote you to the rank of Boy. Don't worry, it's a gender neutral term for my best minions."

"Oh? Who're you?" Chris asked, looking at Giovanni curiously.

"I'm the greatest villain of all time, Giovanni Potage! Now FORMER ally to Gjira, and part of the reason we survived today!"

Ed gasped as he heard the name. This guy had something to do with Gjira?! But now he's not?! And OH NO THE AUTHOR HAS GONE CROSS EYED.

"Why would Gjira hire a tool like him?!" Rick wondered. "Regardless, I'm fucking pissed we lost."

"Okay…" Chris said. "Everyone, back on the plane. Aces, I'll be seeing you at elimination. As for mister big bad supervillain over here, me and Mr. Togami would like to have a word with him."

"If I don't see you guys later, let me say it was nice to have you guys as minions." Giovanni said.

As they swim back to the plane, Coyle pulls Harley aside.

"Remember how you said you owe me?" She asked.

"Yeah?" Harley said. "Just don't go asking for something ridiculous. I don't want you reading my secrets either."

"Ouch. Don't worry. I just need to guarantee your vote tonight…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Later that evening, the Aces sat in the elimination room. Giovanni stood by the door, leaning on the wall as he watched this.

"I have a big announcement to make." Chris said. "But we'll go over that after we send one of you falling out of the plane. I hold only six bags, and after tallying the votes, I gotta say this was a really close one."

Chris then tosses the bags as he calls out names.

"Tari"

"Rick"

"Harley"

"Edward"

"And Cinder"

This time, only Coyle and Meggy were left. Both looked very confident, yet glared at each other.

"Meggy, you may have cost the challenge, but it was a heroic sacrifice. Coyle… Do i even need to talk about the stuff you've done?"

"Just give me my bag, already." Coyle said.

"Geez. Way to ruin the surprise." Chris grumbled as he gave the scientist her bag. "Meggy, it's time to say goodbye."

Meggy nodded, albeit sadly. Harley just looked away, trying her best to not feel guilty.

"We're gonna miss you, Meggy." Tari said.

"Take care." Edward said.

"Thanks, guys." Meggy said as she grabbed her parachute. She walks over to the door, and her and Giovanni fist bump.

"Take care, Beanie Girl." Giovanni told her.

"Thanks."

With one ladt wave, Meggy jumps out, her screams slowly dying out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Now, that gamer and the alchemist are outnumbered." Coyle said. "Rick plays by his own rules, so I shouldn't worry. For now. Thanks again, Harley."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Now, here's the other announcement." Chris told the Aces. "After looking at the footage, and having a fun little chat with Mr. Potage over here, we have this guy a contract, and now he's joining the show. On your team."

"WHAT?!"

"That's right!" Giovanni said proudly. "You guys are gonna make awesome minions!"

Cinder groans, as Tari just giggles at his antics. Ed and Rick were quite interested in this guy, and why Gjira would employ a weirdo like him.

"Soup guy, have fun with your team." Chris said. "I can already smell the drama."

As the Aces begin to leave the room, Giovanni puts his arms around Rick and Ed.

"So you're the ones Gjira was ranting about, huh? I agree, the guy's a total buzzkill. He treats his minions with no respect. How awful!"

"Don't go throwing that asshole's name around!" Rick hissed. "It makes him stronger."

"Do you mind if…..we talk more about this, later?" Ed asked. "Because I got quite a few questions."

"Alright, but only because my minion asked nicely."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Whoo! This one has kept me busy for SO long. I'm sorry for the longer wait than normal. I have been so busy, especially with work. But now I've got this one out of the way. I love Bioshock, so I wanted to have a chapter centered around it. For those that point out the lack of a musical number this time, I couldn't find a right moment for one to start up. So if I struggle on a song idea for an episode, then there won't be one. Before you ask, this Rapture is set in the TDI world, but stuck in the time of the game, being 1960. Either way, there was a lot to unpack here.

Let's recap the highlights. Despite all the danger, we saw an interesting side of Miu, Waluigi and Isabelle are having some very awkward tension (Which I'll delve further into in the next chapter.), Coyle has won over Harley, and the infamous Giovanni Potage from Epithet Erased joins the cast. Don't worry, I'm not adding any other new characters. But he does have a lot of plot relevance with Gjira. Oohhh, foreshadowing. And who doesn't love this guy?

Now, we say goodbye to Meggy. I at least wanted her to have a badass moment before she left, as I felt I could've done more with her in the previous chapter.

Well, that about covers that. Here's a preview for next time, and this is an important one. I have an upcoming collaboration chapter with fellow crossover author, NondescriptNorbert, author of Total Drama Endless.

He came to me recently, and offered the idea of collaborating. His series is a TDI series like mine, but now hosted by Conan O'Brien. With a ship and a ragtag crew, they go to many crazy worlds, including Los Santos, Gotham, the Hallownest, and more. Currently, their cast is stuck at Hogwarts. But anyways, they're gonna be there at Hogwarts until he updates the story in July, so the chapter will come out before that. My characters will drop by there, and be students at the school for a week. Hopefully, these guys will have the makings of a wizard. Or not. But who knows?

Norbert did a mini crossover with my story that took place before the Infinite cast went to London, so they're gonna recognize some of them.

I would recommend getting caught up with his series before this happens. It's really good, and it's got my seal of approval.

So, I think I explained everything. Until my next chapter, read and review, fav and follow, and all that good junk. Until next time, this is MemeKing, signing.
